Sweater season is almost here, and Reba McEntire is ready for it!

How to Watch

Watch the premiere of Happy’s Place Friday, October 18 at 8/7c on NBC.

In a downright cozy September 19 Instagram post, the winning Coach of Season 25 of The Voice shared a few photos of her enjoying a cup of coffee alongside her boyfriend, Rex Linn. The couple is too cute, and it looks like they're definitely ready for fall.

See the adorable photos here.

"Now that summer is winding down, which fall activity are you most excited for? Fall recipes and so much more in my book #NotThatFancy!" she said.

McEntire and Linn look genuinely happy enjoying coffee in each other's company, after all, they've got a lot to look forward to. Linn is a part of the cast of Happy's Place, McEntire's new upcoming NBC comedy series. 

We can't wait to see their chemistry on screen. Their love story is more like a fairytale than anything else.

McEntire met Linn while filming a movie in 1991, but things were platonic between the pair until early 2020 when McEntire reached out to her longtime friend and asked him out to dinner.

They quickly realized they were a match made in heaven. Over the pandemic, the two were inseparable, and the COVID restrictions they faced only strengthened their bond. The pair went public with their relationship in the fall of 2020 and never looked back.

"He's the first person I talk to when I get up each morning and the last person I talk to before I go to sleep each night," McEntire wrote in her 2023 book, Not That Fancy. "I'm having fun being in love again. Romantic relationships should be fun — I don't care how old you are. Love should bring you joy and make you feel good, and I'm never going to settle for anything less."
